Saturday, July 2, 2005I HAVE TO CONFESS….I’M A FRAUD!….Or at least I feel like one because of all these works-in-progress I have that I cannot seem to complete. I took down the article I wrote on cell phones being helpful or harmful and I still haven’t had the time or inclination to edit it. I hate doing rewrites so much, I think I’ll have to hire...

No, I don’t think. Last night I had an interesting dream that I should have paid attention to, but I didn’t. I dreamt that a rasta man and his co-worker came to my house and...

I tried making contact with one of Jamaica ’s most eminent peadiatricians through her husband, who’s a golfer, but hit a dead end. I wanted to have a quotation from her. The magazine will produce its... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, June 22, 2005A WORK IN PROGRESSWhat we do is a unique art form and there is no real ‘process’ as far as I’m concerned. The moment I think that I have some sort of pattern going, it is overthrown at some point down the road. I started that article on cell phones last night. Didn’t get a chance to do anything to it during the day...

Can you tell what it is? And yeah, it’s pretty obvious, so don’t go busting your brains. 1. The real things that real writers do! - 13 hours...

Last night, I went to another party for one of son’s friends. I sat watching the mother of the birthday guy and thought idly that she was about a year or two older than...

A quality that I didn’t even know was contained therein; the ability to remember lines and lines of prospective stories. I won’t delude myself into thinking that I have the copyright on this. I think it’s something that’s common to writers.... Sign in to see full entry.Tuesday, June 14, 2005HOW ABOUT GIVING YOUR ARTICLES A NEW LEASE ON LIFE?Hello there fellow writers. I have good news. Remember the article I was supposed to submit to a publication that has published my articles before? I got an email from them yesterday agreeing to print my article in September. I happy for that, but it does tell me that I have some work to do....

The T.V. was on, my son was demanding attention and I just could not think. I realize that at 36, I’m perfectly entitled to have some intervals where my brains are addled. I left the computer, gave my son... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, June 10, 2005SPONGE BOB & WORK WILL HOLD ME CAPTIVE!I was hoping to do some writing over the weekend. More to the point, it was some submissions that I was hoping to get done. However, I have to work this weekend. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this storm that is passing in our vicinity – I don’t even know what it’s called, something beginning... Sign in to see full entry. |
